Dodge Power Shot icon

Dodge Power Shot

Changes roll into dodge and unlocks Dodge Power Shot. Dodge Power Shot: Shoot immediately after dodging, consuming additional Energy to quickly fire the currently loaded quick-charge arrow toward enemies near the crosshairs. Quick-charge arrows can activate all special effects of fully drawn arrows but have a lower Damage Multiplier. This skill has a cooldown.

Fully-drawn arrows will home in on enemies near the crosshairs.

Blood Infection icon

Blood Infection

Upon hitting an enemy, Bloodfly Arrow deals reduced DoT but inflicts bonus Swarm stacks. Hitting an enemy that has Swarm stacks with any fully drawn arrow other than Bloodfly Arrow will detonate the Swarm, dealing bonus damage. The more Swarm stacks the target has, the higher the damage dealt. The swarm detonation deals Critical Damage, with a portion converted to True Damage.
